A frosty start, then warming into the 50’s and sun throughout. A great day to 
be visiting the game lands. 
Many Jays in the air, some eating acorns of which there seem to be a lot this 
year, my first decent sized robin flock of the season and a nice sprinkling of 
warblers (see below, photo of an accomodating Bay breasted). A single kestrel 
and an adult Bald eagle were also good to see.
